Package: hx Followup-For: Bug #1100003 X-Debbugs-Cc: vent...@debian.org Hi Jonas,

Thanks for the explanation, I understand that these tree-sitter plugins should be packaged separately so they can be used by other packages such as neovim. Does that mean that the few existing tree-sitter packages for C, Lua, Markdown, etc. could already be utilized by hx? Also, would you be open to make hx depend on a reasonable set of treesitter plugins by default? > # Grammar plugins are either system-shared or personal > > If I recall correctly (it is some time ago I looked into that), > grammar plugins can be stored below /usr - but if a single plugin > exists below ~/.config/helix/runtime/grammars then the system-shared > plugins are all ignored. > > Ideally we should convince upstream to improve this, but if not then I > am willing to carry a reasonably small patch for Debian.

Can you verify if that is still the case? I tried both cases: none and all tree-siter plugins and did not perceive any performance difference.
